In Illustrator, pressing 'esc' while editing type leaves the type object, switching you back to the arrow pointer with your changes intact.

In Photoshop, pressing 'esc' while editing type cancels all changes you've made to the type object.

Guess which behavior I'm used to? Guess how expecting that behavior makes me swear like a rabid sailor with Tourette's when I'm using fucking Photoshop?

"Unified interface" my ass.

Also while I'm swearing at Photoshop, who the fuck thinks it is a good idea to constantly resize your goddamn document window when you zoom in with apple +/-? I fucking hate that. I'm constantly resizing the window again so it's not covered by the goddamn palettes; Illustrator just takes the size I give it and stays there.

Any day in which I have to use Photoshit for anything besides scanning is not a happy day.

I thought there was a config option to kill the zoom thing in Photoshop.

But then, I'm Gimp.

Oh God, I tried to like Gimp, could not do it. Everything about its interface was like nails scraping down a blackboard. I'm still using my old copy of Photoshop 5.5 for everything, like I have for the last like ten years XD

Gimp's UI has changed alot since 0.9... 1.0... 2.0... 2.2... 2.4... now 2.6 and there's no toolbar on the toolbox like 2.4 used to have. But, you still have right-click menus.

Eh, I grew up on Gimp.

I'm calcified, I have muscle memory in Photoshop so deeply ingrained I can't even use a newer version of Photoshop. :D Maybe eventually I'll get a copy of CS4, if I can completely customize the interface.
